WHITE PLAINS NEWSLETTER Always At Your Service: A message from your Punong Barangay It’s been a while since we gave an update about the goings-on in our barangay. Much as we want to inform you of our activities, we just had no means to communicate with you on a regular basis. Now, we are glad to bring to you our newsletter, Barangay Balita, that will provide you with the update and information about what’s happening in our barangay. OCTOBER 2007 W.P. YOUTH in action ! The past year proved to be a tough but fulfilling year for us. We managed to make good our promises of providing a cleaner, brighter and healthier place for all our residents. There is still a lot to be done in improving the facilities of the community and in fostering harmony among all residents. But, with your cooperation and that of the other organizational units serving the village, like the White Plains Homeowners Association, Inc. and White Plains Ladies Association, we are confident that this will be resolved with the best interest of everybody. We will continue taking measures to reach a consensus for us to be united in a meaningful way (together with Katipunan) and to make White Plains a better place to live in. We will always welcome your suggestions and other feedback on our activities.
